8th?!

Yes, didn't he say that he was leaving for Bama the day after the BCSNCG? Isn't that the 8th? Or, did he say he was leaving after his All-star game?

Oh I forget. I thought it was later on in the year, not after the BCSCG.

If he's in the Army game then it will be the 8th.

Not sounding good. Going to be honest, (preface this with its the holidays and haven't talked to anyone) IMO if he visits UF like he says. He flips. Just don't see him visiting UF for a day and then enrolling at BAMA. Hope I'm wrong on this one. Also, 24/7 is saying he didn't even tell Coach Saban or the Staff.

Two best buds are Gator commits. This one has felt a little queasy for a while.

This would be a big loss class wise...hope he's just using his visit to use his visit

Re: *** DE/Jack DeMarcus Walker Commits to Alabama ***

Is he upset about Liner possibly becoming a part of this class?

Disregard. I see they play different positions.

Re: *** DE/Jack DeMarcus Walker Commits to Alabama ***

Here is the tweet regarding when he leaves for Tuscaloosa--after the Under Armor game. He tweeted this on Dec 22:
DeMarcus Walker ‏@livinglegend_44 I am NOT applying for early enrollment at UF. Contrary to what is being reported; I will be flying to AL following the UA game to enroll!

His roommate at the Under Armor game is OJ Howard!

ETA: UA game is the 4th so if he arrives in T-Town on Friday, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

The trip was announced after that tweet

It's very odd to say the least. Frankly, it just doesn't look good (w/o any knowledge). A player set to enroll a few days after he takes a visit to another campus. I may be pessimistic and it may just be his way to shake off "buyer's remorse" before he gets on campus.

This is an odd one. He and Henry are good friends and they have been talking about playing together at Bama. They both are/were "recruiting" Tunsil to Bama and his recent tweets were all Bama.

However, his coach pushes players to FLA and two FLA commits are two of his best friends. I am a little nervous since this is the dead period and we can have no contact with him until he is enrolled somewhere else.

Anyway, I guess we will know in the next week. He is an important cog in this class and I hope he keeps his commitment and enrolls.

Hope we can make full use of our 1 call per week during this period of time. However, this one does not look good at all.

His high school coach has been quoted as saying Walker is 50-50 between Alabama and Florida. Seeing how the coach wants him to go to Florida I don't know how accurrate that is, but I am very concerned. I hope OJ Howard works on Walker at the all-star game.

Bone spoke with him recently, if anyone has a rivals account he posted his opinion

Re: *** DE/Jack DeMarcus Walker Commits to Alabama ***

He said he considers himself 90% committed and that when Jeremy Pruitt left that's what was what made him think. Said they were real close

So he wants to visit UF instead of FSU? I know UF was his #2 choice, but why not go to FSU where Pruitt is?

He said because its close to home and he has a lot of friends that go there! That's the reason of visiting. He said muschamp talked to his mom and ironed some questions out. Going to be very interesting

here is the whole excerpt.

"I am taking an unofficial visit to Florida this weekend," Walker said. "It just happened with coach Pruitt leaving Alabama. He was the only one I really trusted. I loved him, he loved me. We had a real good bond."

Walker talked about his high interest in the Gators.

"It's close to home," he said. "A lot of good friends go there. Just talking to coach Muschamp and having him talk to my mom about everything. It's all pretty good."

"I still consider myself an Alabama commitment," Walker said. "I am still solid, but I am looking around. I would say I am 90-percent committed. I just want to see how I feel when I visit this weekend. My comfort level is the biggest thing."

we will know soon enough about his "comfort level" after the UF visit.

Is that like being 90% pregnant? :cool2:

Yep. I`m sorry, you`re either committed to something or somebody or you`re not. That`s true for everything in life, IMHO. There`s no such thing as being "90% committed".
